"Weasel" Secret Weapon Is
Unveiled On French Beach
By Ralph E. Heinsen
United Press Staff Correspondent
South Bend, Ind. (U.R) The Normandy beachhead was
the proving ground for several surprise weapons which the
army had built secretly and used for the first time against the
enemy in France. The "weasel," in many ways a jeep with
web feef,' was one of the surprises regarding which the war de
parment has just lifted the secrecy restrictions. There are other
secret weapons and vehicles abou t which nothing is being said for
the time being, despite the fact they have been in successful
operation since invasion began.
Here at its birthplace, I rode
a weasel which skims the
ground just like its namesake,
SEABEAS ADAPT
JAPANESE GEAR
TO 01
Washington (U.R) The versa
tile Scabees continue to live up
to their reputation for making
useful gear out of discarded
equipment.
Lt. Comdr. Anthony W. Van
Leer, Civil Engineer Corps, of
Chevy Chase, Md., recently re
ported on how the Seabees have
rebuilt and remodelled equip
ment captured at Japanese
bases In the Gilbert and Marsh
all islands to meet their own re
quirements. "At nearly every base, Jap
anese buildings, vehicles, tools
or materials have been used ad
vantageously," Van Leer said.
He told of one Seabee battal
ion, commanded by Comdr. Free
mont G. Elliot, 69 Aberdeen PI.,
Clayton, Mo., that repaired Jap
anese trucks and motorcycles
salvaged at Tarawa and took
them along with their regular
gear when ihey moved to Kwa
jalein. In another Instance, a battal
ion led by Comdr. Frank B. Cres
sey, of 5335 East Broadway,
Long Beach, Calif., rebuilt a
Japanese lathe, drill press and
a power hacksaw when it moved
Into Roimamur. They are using
the machines so successfully that
they probably will take them
along when they move to a new
base.
Also at Tarawa, Van Leer re
ported, a Seabee maintenance
unit commanded by Lt. Clar
ence D. Arrasmith, of 4403 54th
St. SW, Seattle, Wash., re
habilitated a Japanese generator
to furnish the main block ot
power on the island.
or strikes swiftly and stealthily
across snow, sand, swamp land,
deep mud. It can go anywhere
a Jeep can go, and many places
a Jeep would fear to tread.
Known officially as the cargo'
carrier M-29, the weasel is a
lightweight low-slung, versatile
common carrier. It can carry
four men, a ton of ammunition,
water and food or can race in
and out of action carrying
wounded on stretchers.
When the Japanese broke into
the Aleutians, the war depart
ment discovered the need of a
pounds pressure per square inch.
In contrast G.I. Joe when carry
ing the full load of an infantry
man exerts ground pressure of
8 pounds per square inch. Thus
a weasel can cross dry snow or
sand wRere a foot soldier would
sink in to his knees.
In form, it is a welded, water
proof body on 32 bogie wheels.
It is not bullet-proof but depends
upon its camouflage, its speed
and mobility for its safety. It's
low ground pressure is due to
its steel-and-rubber wide treads.
It is powered by a Studebaker
6-cylinrier automobile motor
with six forward speeds. It is
motor vehicle that could travel guided, like a ta.ik, with two
fast over snow and Ice. The army levers Instead of a steering
imposed restrictions on size and, w , . , ......
weight, but left the design to' The weasel showed In its tests

weasel was built, tested, im
proved and put Into mass pro
duction. Thousands have since
